I SPENT YESTERDAY BIKING THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE OF YANGSHUO. LAST NIGHT I TRIED CHICKEN FEET ON A STICK; TASTED LIKE CHICKEN FEET...YUCK!

TONIGHT I AM HEADING OUT VIA A SLEEPER BUS TO HONG KONG. THE BUS IS LITERALLY A SLEEPER, IT HAS BEDS AND YOU CAN SLEEP THE WHOLE TRIP...ABOUT $25 FOR THE 12 HOUR RIDE TO THE BORDER. I HAVE DECIDED TO HIT HONG KONG IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID ALL OF THE UPCOMING MADNESS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BIG NATIONAL HOLIDAY HERE IN CHINA. HOTELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE PACKED AND ALL PRICES TO DOUBLE. THE HOLIDAY LASTS FOR 8 DAYS AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'LL GO FROM THERE.........
